About
Kim Walker, CPA is a seasoned tax professional and accountant with over 25+ years experience. I am committed to my clients and exceeding their expectations. My areas of expertise include tax preparation for individuals, businesses, estates and trust; IRS and State agency Representation and resolution of various issues, bookkeeping, QB training, business entity structure/creation, payroll services and sales tax.
I am not a "TAX RETURN FACTORY", where you are just a return. This differs from the others that are bidding on your return. I will be preparing the actual return myself. Many firms have low level staff that prepare the returns and not the CPA you engage with.
I truly enjoy working with Individuals and small businesses to help strategize earnings with tax planning. It is rewarding giving people advice to help them improve their financial picture and avoid paying unnecessary taxes.
Remember, I work for you not for the IRS. Many of my clients save many times the fee in reduced taxes with planning.
A simple review helps confirm that I’m doing a good job. Looking forward to working with you!

I’ve been using the online tax software to file my taxes (turbotax, TaxSlayer) the last few years and have been making a mess of it. Kim did a wonderful job sorting me out. Will definitely continue using her going forward. Thanks Kim!

Kim was amazing! I am a medical contractor and it was hard finding someone knowledgeable enough about working in multiple states but residing in another. She was very helpful in everything and even got me a return. I’m grateful to have had her complete my taxes, I’ll definitely use her services next year.

Kim knew exactly what she was doing. She found ways to save me money on my taxes that I didn't even know existed, for someone who owns a business you really HAVE to have a good CPA who has the experience to guarantee your best return. Kim is just that. I was on a strict deadline, she was very responsive anytime I contacted her and worked very hard the SAME day to do a lot of tax work for me. Definitely having her do my tax work for me in the future. I highly recommend her, she is confidential, and has a good system of doing taxes and protecting personal info. I finally got my copy and they look marvelous. Thanks Kim!!

Kim is incredible to work with! She audited my past taxes, took care of my company structure setup and has filed taxes for couple years in a row now. Not only is she a smart, very knowledgeable tax professional, but also her responsiveness, and customer service skills are superb. She is incredibly quick and efficient and is always accessible by phone and email when I have questions. Kim is a wonderful asset to have on your side when it comes to all things taxes, accounting, corporate structures - you won't be sorry you called her!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is dependent on the specific situation, each business and individual is unique. My prices fairly represent the time spent on each return or project.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to have a call to get to know the customer and gain a clear understanding of their tax position. Then go over the game plan to efficiently minimize their tax position.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Bachelors of Science in Accountancy, NYS CPA, Quickbooks ProAdvisor
